- To all whom it may concern!- j Be itknown that I, HENRY FURsrE, a 'citizen of the UnitedStates of America, and aresident of Cincinnati, in the county of 6 'Hamilton and State of Ohio, haveinvented -a new and useful Improvement in a Car.- ton, of which the following is a specification.

,- An object of my invent-ion is to provide a carton wherein it, is possible to use the same 10 printed portion of such carton for advertis- .ing both when the carton isin a, closed or a display position, thereby saving the cost of labor, timeand material incident to glazing and printing two surfaces for displayand advertising purposes.

. Another 'object"is to provide a carton for the purpose stated wherein the one printed portlon may be retained in suitable relation .to the-contents of the cartonto affect the the goods; I I

. V Another object is to'accomplish the aforesaid purposes withoutemploying additional paper stock, than is ordinarily used in r0-. vidin'g an ordinary carton with a lid, w 1011.

35. of cartons showing my invention as applied to various types of cartons.

' Fig. 6 is an enlarged fragmental perspective View of the carton shown in Fig. 5.

Fig. 7 is asectional View, on -line 7-7 of Fig. 6, on a reduced'scale and showing the .lid folded upon itself together. with the leg (2 associated therewith, which said portions are not disclosed in Fig.6.

' The carton A may bejset up in any manner, and comprises the ordinary bottom a, sides 1;, front and back d. If desired the carton may be provided with an auxiliary top e as shown in Fig. 2. The lidf is ordinarily formed integral with the back d and isset 0E from the back by the weakened line f. The forward end of the lid is ordinarily provided with a front'fiap i, which may, in the closed position of the lid, assume a position immediately adjacent the front of the" most desirable advertising and display of showing in dotted lines the closed position.

box, asis'common' in this type of carton.

The lid may also be provided with side flaps i which may be inserted intothe' box adjacent the sides b,'see Fig. 3. At a place substantially midway of the front and rear of the lid and extending transversely there' to, are the weakened lines f and 7. These weakened lines extendiin'ward from the side edges of the lid and their inner ends are connected by a, scored line 7; The scored line f is given any artistic shape or fo-rnt desired, whereby various designs'may be imparted to apanel-like section f which in the display position of the carton, extends upwardly be-,

yond the weakened lines f and 7 In cartons as shown 'in Fig. 3'Ithe weakened lines extendthrough' the side flaps f. Lugs or I flanges b, 034 and e are formed on thesides 5, back cl or supplemental top 6, respectively, which lugs in the display position of the carton are,engaged by theflid or-the front flap thereof, s o vas to retain the lid in 'posi- .tions asshownl' When the {carton is set up for display, the panel-like section is disconnected from the adjacent part of the lid by breaking the said panel therefrom along the scored line i and the forward part of the-lid isthen .bent in relation .to the rear part of the lid' along the weakened lines f and F. The

forward end of the lid or the-front flap f is then moved into engagement with the lugs or flan es 'b d or e, as the case may be, which anges cooperate with the lid in retaining the lid in a display position.-

It will be readily apparentthat 'in cartons manufactured as disclosed herein, it is necessary to glaze and .print' theupper surface of the lid only,'and that when the carton is placed in display position,'that printed portion of the panel of the lid may be employed for. further display by being disposed at an angle above the. body .ofthe carton.

In Figs. 5, 6 and 7, I show the preferred form of my invention. The supplemental tope has formed in it the slots e -byis'evering the laps e from the supplemental jtop except for a small portion/e at the rear of each lap. The. portion 0 lies upon the weakened line e separating the supplemental top 6 and the rear flap e which is inserted in the box adjacent the back d. The

lap e is preferably secured upon the in-- side of the lid any suitable means such as by being-glued thereto, so thatthe lapserves to prevent disassociation ofthe rear tends to yieldingly resist rearward move-v ment'ot the lid about the scored line or line of fold between the back '61 and the.

lid, this action serving to cooperate with the lugs e and the lodgment'of such lugs in the openings "e? in retaining the lid in its folded or display position.

From the foregoing it is readily apparent I thatthe lugs may be formed 0n either the body of the carton or on the lid, and proper structure given to the body-pr lid that 25 will cooperate with the lugs to attain the desired end,

What ll claim is: '1. A carton comprising a slotted top, laps hingedly mounted on the top adapted to lie in the slots, a lid hingedly mounted alongteasers its one edge upon the carton, the laps being secured upon the-lid.

' 2. A carton comprising a slotted top, laps hingedly mounted on "the top adapted to lie I in the slots, a lid hingedly mounted along its one edge upon the carton and adapted to be .,folded upon itself on a line'in sub-' stantialparallelism with its'hinged edge,

the, laps being secured upon the lid and lugs von the lid adapted to enter the slots when the lid is folded upon itself;

3,. A carton com-prisinga lid, a slotted top v and laps carried by the top and comprising material originally disposed Wlthll'l the limits of the slots in the top, said laps being secured to the lid for movement with the lid. I i 1 4. A- carton comprising a lid, a slotted top, and laps struck from thetop' when slotting the top, the laps being attached to both the lid and the top.

5. A carton comprising a lid; a slotted top, andlaps struck from the top When slotting the top, the laps being arranged for movement with the lidand for lodging in the slots. 1

In testimony whereofll have hereunto subscribed my name this 15th vday of Getober, 1921.
